The Retarded VQ35HR R32 SKyRine build - Page 6 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

frftw · 10-17-2010, 02:28 PM

this looks like its gonna be a blast to drive! even though it wont have an astounding power/weight ratio its still gonna be smooth and predictable, assuming the f/r weight balance turns out alright. also with a heavier overall car their will be allot more suspension response wich is good for learning, wich is what this car is being built for if i remember correctly... Hell i couldnt drive for shit on twisties untill i sold my civic with coils and started driving my parents q7 on backroads, thats the car that taught me how to manipulate suspension, now i get to apply it to the s13 im slowly but surely building, wich is a stripped and has a lightweight ca tucked as low and far back as i could get it, very nice balance!

krnmike · 10-17-2010, 02:42 PM

i suggest painting the suspension parts as opposed to powdercoating them.

C-unit · 10-18-2010, 04:40 AM

snow are AWESOME...but salt's are not.

I only have the subframe powdercoated but everything else are either painted or came like that from SPL.

and OH GOD..I HATE WAITING FOR THE RIGHT PARTS!!!!
I NEED OVERNIGHT PARTS FROM JAPAN!!

I NEED MY WHEEL FXXKING BEARINGS!!!!!

S13_ADDICT · 10-18-2010, 06:08 AM

Update time!

Tomei 2way Diff

Putting the ring gear on

Clean the pumpkin with solvent

Unfortunately, the pinion spacer is messed up and it seized the bearings when I tighten the pinion.

So I went home and finish off my front suspension assembly.
SPL tie rod ends
Tein Z33 tie rods
New sway bar linkage
New steering rack boot

Finally have the new wheel bearings pressed in and painted my drift knuckle.

I have everything installl

Oh wait...the studs from the SPL tie rods doesn't fit my knuckle!!!
Great..I thought they are the same as z32 but I guess not, so SPL told me they will send me a pair of S13 one.

Rear is the same..I have the sway bar bolted on with new linkage

Car is still on jack stand..alignment is super out of wack that I can't even install my front sway bar.

Test fit my wheels..

Unfortunately I haven't received my spacers from PBM yet to clear my brakes..so I can't put them on yet. I am still waiting for my tires for the TE as well..

franklin93zx · 10-24-2010, 01:30 AM

Thats weird the spl tie rods should bolt up perfectly... My friend that many would know as touge noob has z32 spl tie rods on his s13

articdragon192 · 10-24-2010, 02:05 AM

It probably bolts up, but it isn't snug. The taper on Z32 and S13 are different.

kiko10 · 03-24-2012, 09:36 AM

hey man, the pic in ur sig, What front bumper is that?

C-unit · 10-24-2010, 02:14 AM

You the cone shape thing that suppose to sit in the knuckle and then you put the nuts on top to tighten it. Well, that part doesn't fit the knuckle as it was too wide.

Giebs · 10-24-2010, 02:54 AM

what happened with the pinion gear, did you over tighten it?

The previous owner did. I bought the pumkin off a guy since I sold the whole subframe assembly.

wannabdr1ftr · 10-24-2010, 06:29 AM

mmmm tomei 2 way...very nice

sucks about the tie rods but at least SPL is great company to deal with

tricky_ab · 10-24-2010, 10:20 AM

Thanks for the updates...

illvialuver · 10-24-2010, 10:20 AM

looking good. check this thread as much as I check the zenkis unite thread.

Aroddalobster · 10-25-2010, 10:20 AM

baka tono~
great thread, I'm enjoying the updates.

C-unit · 10-30-2010, 03:19 AM

More update!

Took the car back to the shop!
I have the tires mounted
245/35R18 18x10+20 plus 20mm spacer
265/35R18 18x11 -1 plus 18mm spacer

I also have the rear fenders pulled yesterday.

I am so tired from moving everything to the shop so here are some teaser. I will have full update after halloween!

F20cS13 · 10-30-2010, 03:29 AM

Truly nice work man. Top 5 fav builds yet. Individuality is what this sport is all about. Not having the same boring motor and same boring dildo shift knob everyone seems so desperate to have. This is an awesome car with quality parts and a solid commitment to the build. This will be epic when its finished. Keep up the good work!!!

As long as u stay away from the sit and spin shifter so many people seem to use..Were all good! lol

Kaizen. · 10-30-2010, 12:44 PM
